Looking for opinion -trying to understand cause of damage
Morning V Welcome to the Forum Not sure what your expecting here we are BMW owners not insurance crash investigators Surely for the nearside to hit the Concrete Divider you would have had to have spun 180deg ?? If you don't recall that happening thats a worry. The police use sofistigated crash investigation software these days where all we can do is guess as we were not there I assume your Insurers are on board after all an accident is an accident Good luck with the claim Dave -

N47 Actuator arm exhaust fumes leak
Morning Kelvin Welcome to the Forum The turbo actuator arm leak is a new one for me (everyday is a school day) great detective work to find both leaks I have actually seen two 2.0d with EGR gaskets missing completley so a good clean and new gaskets should sort that. The actuator arm one ? As BMW dont make Turbo's there are several Turbo specialists out there who should be able to help with advice or a refurbished Turbo Good Luck Dave -

Looking for opinion -trying to understand cause of damage
Hello Everyone, I am seeking help to determine the cause of the damage to my BMW X3's left front side and right rear quarter panel. A few weeks ago, I was involved in an accident while driving on a rainy day. My car lost traction, skidded, and hit the concrete divider before colliding with another vehicle. The incident happened so quickly that I don’t recall the exact sequence of events. Based on my vague recollection, I believe the left front of my car hit the concrete divider, and the right rear was impacted by the other vehicle. However, the police report suggests the opposite. I’m posting here to ask for your opinions. Based on the attached pictures, could you please share your thoughts on which damage is more likely caused by the concrete divider and which by the other car? Your input would be greatly appreciated, as I need to file a rebuttal if my version is correct. Thank you in advance for your help! This is my first post here, so please let me know if it would be better suited for a different forum or topic. -

N47 Actuator arm exhaust fumes leak
Hi all, It's my first post. Thanka for having me. I have an exhaust leak which is entering the cabin when stationary and at low speeds. This lead to the soapy water test and have found 2 leaks. 1 from the EGR/ Manifold connection. And 1 from the Turbo actuator arm. I am happy with how to sort the EGR issue, either a delete or a replacement gasket will be suffice. However has anyone any advice for the Actuator arm. Can this be sorted without removing turbo? Does the turbo need replaced completely or can it be refurbished. Finally is it something that can be done at home? Regards Kelvin -

Ride Quality
Morning John Welcome to the Forum Don't ignore suspension bushes I spend quite a lot of time driving on farm tracks during the shooting season. I have learned from experience that suspension bushes last around 80k max, they then start to become hard or worse start to break up. I change the bushes between 60/80k front and rear, shocks at 100/150k. The 4.4 and my current E70 are springs front air rear the 4.6 was air all round. The 4.4 ran 19" staggered wheels the 4.6is and E70 both run 20" staggered sets (still got a spare set of type 87 4.6is wheels in the shed) The E70 I changed the bushes front and rear at 75k (I have a home made bearing press uses a bottle jack) BMW in their wisdom fitted a pair of sponge/fibre pads above and below the front top mounts after changing the bushes and still having clunky suspension I investigated these and found one side completly disintergrated the other side looking really thin. I changed just the upper set and wow what a difference Changing bushes there are complete kits available (Arms and Bushes) for ront and rear which are not that expensive obviously bushes alone are cheaper but you do need a press. Tip I learned that the rear on the 4.6 bolts were so rusted it was qicker to buy new a cut the old ones off. Did the same with the E70 while your in there change the Rose Joint bottom of the rear hub and get a 4 wheel alignment done Hope this helps Dave
